There is a bridge connecting Heaven and Earth. It is called the
Rainbow Bridge because of it's many colors. Just this side of the
Rainbow Bridge, there is a land of meadows, hills, and valleys with
lush green grass. (author unknown) |

Adolf/ Doffe Var inte ledsna kära ägare. Här skiner alltid solen, gräset är alltid grönt och vattnet från fontänerna badar oss i sin härliga värme. Jag har fått många vänner. Självklart kommer jag att sakna din ömhet och vattnet runt ön Södra Stavsudda där jag älskade att bada, och alla andra hundar: Gregorio, Bozo, Titine, Rhomy, Cecar och Bernadotte, och ni kommer sakna mig. Kvällen innan jag somnade tänkte jag på dig och Bobbo min mamma och pappa, jag levde hos er i fem år, fem lyckliga år gav ni mig. Jag lärde de små att simma och var som en far för dom. Jag fyllde huset med glädje, ro och min "joie de vivre". Jag var sprudlande glad och alltid redo för party. Plötsligt saboterade en räv fälla allt för mig och mitt liv hängde på en skör tråd... Men varför fanns en sådan så nära mitt hem? Jag blev så illa skadad att veterinären inte kunde hjälpa mig och beslutet måste tas att stoppa mitt lidande. Som ni människor säger " 'C'est la vie'" men jag, en Monsieur med fyra ben säger det är inte livet! Nu är jag här i mitt Paradis där jag ska spendera min första jul utan dig. Jag omfamnar er alla och glömmer inte Dorina, den gamla hästen, Rulf Lua, kossan, Nasselina, den gamla suggan och katterna: Puff, Tyson, Ida, Gabriel, Hedda och Simba. Jag har levt i Noah´s Ark.
Adolf, er vän för alltid |

Please don't be sad dear owners. Here the sun always shines, the grass is always green and the waters of the fountains bathe us in their sweet warmth... I have made many friends. Of course your tenderness and the water of the Island of Stavsudda, where I loved to swim, and all the other dogs Fidel. Gregorio, Bozo and Titine, Rhomy and Bernadotte will all miss me. The evening before going to sleep I think about you and Bobo and Ingvor yiu my l kind owners. I lived happily for 5 years, a life full of joy. I taught the little ones how to swim, I was like a Daddy to them. I filled the house with happiness, nobility and my 'joie de vivre'. I was like a champagne cork, always ready for a party. Suddenly a fox trap broke everything and my life was in the balance...but why did they put it so close to home? I was so badly injured the vet couldn't do anything and they decided to put an end to my suffering. As you humans say 'C'est la vie' but me, a Monsieur with four legs I say thats not life Now here in my Paradise where I shall spend my first Christmas without you I embrace you all without forgetting Dorina, the old horse, Rulf Lua, the cow, the old sow Nasselina and the cats, Puff, tysson, ida, Gabriel, Hedda and Simba. I lived in Noah's Ark. Adolph, your friend for ever. |

Oma/Luna My little Luna, adopted almost 4 years ago from JR, died peacefully on Friday morning: She had been suffering from Cushing's Syndrome but that was not the cause of her death. She had been, as usual, close to my chair while I was working at the computer. When I looked down to her she seemed to be extremely quiet and I noticed that she didn't seem to be breathing. I rushed her to the Vet but she had already been gone. My Luna was a lovely little girl, extremely intelligent and her nature? I called her my little Madam because she ruled Chato, her companion, and myself totally and absolutely and made me laugh a lot with her antics. Chato missed her to the point that today was the first time since Friday that he ate a little bit. He is a very sad little dog and so am I. Rest in Peace, my little Madam. Ginette |

Rauber Rauber is dying….Rauber is dead……. This morning we were at the Hospital SOS Animales de Málaga……since two days our dear Yorkshire is not well; yesterday the Veterinary in Nerja only gave us bad news and they were confirmed this morning; no hope and before he should not suffer, we made the terrible decision. Rauber is suffering from a liver cancer….a tumor of 2cms will put an end to his life…his long life of 11 years. The abandoning by his mistress was a shock for him; we tried to give him all the love and attention that a Yorky of his age needed…Mitzou took him into her home and you can believe that he was happy, very happy; he had even been able to forget his former mistress. Tomorrow, he will leave us forever…..Once more, I am writing to you with bad news….the death of a dog is always a great despair for me, even more so when we decide that he shouldn't suffer any more. Adieu, dear little Yorky, you will always have a favorite place in my heart and, I am sure, in the hearts of Mitzou and Germán. Julie July 24th 2008 |

Hayo My friend of three years, has already left us….he was to be happy…between Alma and…Mikaela……. This morning, at 7 o'clock, he was the first to come out into the yard…..Death was waiting for him in the form of a piece of meat soaked in strychnine…..Taken to the Clinic immediately, every possible treatment was given him, but the poison was too strong. This is the second time that La Higuera was the victim of poisoning. Little Podenco so sweet, be happy….we will miss you!! Julie, La Higuera, 23rd of March 2008 |

You went to sleep forever, as was your life with Conchi who had picked you up…calm, sweet, full of joy and love, of happiness….You went to sleep in her arms….very weakened by a tumor and an operation, you couldn't recuperate, and this morning you crossed the "bridge" without getting to know your mistress who waited for you in Sweden….and without getting to know the new happiness that awaited you. Little Podenco girl, silent and sweet, Adieu. Conchi is crying for you and your mistress also, and, of course, myself. Julie 18.02 08

I am writing these lines with tears in my eyes….little Bosco will not have the joy of a family in Sweden….little Bosco has left us. My most deep gratitude to the family that was waiting for him….a marvelous friend left us, a little dog so good, so sweet, so tender…….Julie |

Blondi
You arrived one Autumn morning,
6 years ago now, abandoned by your owners!
La Higuera was your last home…..
This morning, you faded away,
like a used up candle, surrounded by the
love of all of your friends….
You were the one who consoled all of those who,
arriving at La Higuera, felt a little "lost"…..
Rest in Peace, dear Blondi.
1995 – September 23rd 2007

Sally Min kjære SALLY forlot oss så altfor tidlig. Vi savner deg så, du kommer alltid å være i våres hjerter. Du var solstrålen i våres liv. Vi elsket deg, du var bare snill å god, aldri et bjeff. Du logret og ville opp når vi kom hjem, du strålte når vi gikk på tur. Jeg savner deg så, du som lå i våres seg, enda det ikke var lov, men du lurte deg opp om natten, å så lurt på oss når vi våknet, "liksom jeg har ikke gjort noe galt". Vi er så glade for at du kom inn i våres liv, men er så veldig veldig lei oss nå når du er borte. SOV I RO MIN KJÆRE SALLY 11 juli 2007 |

JOY  1.3.2000/10.7.2007 La Higuera is in mourning….
this morning my little Joy left us…. The wheel of a car made her cross the bridge to the Rainbow… she was the first little rescuee…. I had found her, when three months old, dehydrated, abandoned and in a very bad state on the roof of a farm…..
the Judge entrusted her to me…. this was my first success before the Court of Almuñecar…. and was my second dog after Fleur. You filled us, Franz and myself, with joy, happiness, to see you so cheerful, so bubbly, so happy every time when somebody arrived….
you talked to us…. you told us how much you loved us, how happy you were to live at La Higuera, surrounded by your friends, Yorki and Loli…. La Higuera is sad…. Adieu little ray of sunshine Adieu Joycita…. Adieu. Julie – July 10th, 2007 If it went by merit, you would stay out and your dog would go in! If dogs are not allowed in our heaven, I would want to go to theirs." Mark Twain |

"Bailey" (fd Bady)
Bailey´s Irish
Cream
† Sevilla, Spain, February 23, 1994 - Borlänge, Sweden, August 17, 2005 † Bailey was our first dog, a solid Red male cocker spaniel. He was bigger than an average cocker, standing at 47-48cms at his withers. He had a family for 6 years of his life, and then due to the family getting a divorce, they put him in the dog rescue called Animales de Andalucia (Stockholm & Spain) in mid-2000.
Bailey moved in with us in January of 2001, and was a joy to own and have as a family member until his passing in 2005. We took him to an Everyday Obedience (vardagslydnad) class when Hundfocus existed here in Borlänge, and he was one of the best students there! He enriched our lives, and the lives of our younger cocker boys. Bailey was docked, as he was from Spain, where they still allow tail docking.
Bailey had a lot of character, he was set in his ways, and we never managed to get him out of the habit of begging for treats. As he got older, he slowed down quite a bit, stopped barking at loud noises indicating that his hearing was not what it had once been.
Over the past year, he off and on showed aggressiveness, and having a newborn baby that soon will be crawling, it would be what some call 'a recipe for disaster'. So we had to make the extremely difficult decision to put him to sleep. On August 17, 2005 Bailey went to Rainbow Bridge, where he is now running across fields of green, chasing sticks and enjoying the company of other dogs who are no longer among us. Forever loved and missed. Rest in peace old Friend, we will never forget you.
Love
Always..... |

Loppan
Någon slängde dig över grinden en natt. Och där satt du och väntade på världen. När jag träffade dig vart jag fast. Du var min lilla Loppan. Vi var med varan dag som natt. Du och Farbror busade hela kvällarna, ibland långt in på natten, ni sov med mig i sängen. Det var vi tre mot världen. Sedan kom dagen då det var dags att åka hem. Jag var tvungen att lämna dig. Jag såg dig på andra sidan grinden, du gnällde och jag grät. Och tyvärr skulle detta vara sista gången jag såg dig. Men det visste jag inte då. Jag glömmer aldrig hur du stod där, kämpade för att följa med mig. Men det gick inte, du var för liten. Jag kunde inget göra mer än vänta på dig. Jag väntade och väntade, och så en dag blev du sjuk. Allt gick så fort. Men efter ett par dagar på kliniken så blev du lite piggare, och jag fick upp hoppet om att du skulle komma hem. Jag bad Julie viska i ditt öra; Du måste överleva detta, för du ska få komma hem till Zelda, Adonis och mig (Therese). Vi ska leva lyckliga i hela våra liv tillsammans, som i himlen fast bättre. Men den tiden kom aldrig. För du han lämna oss. Men jag tror att du var för god för denna värld. Det finns ingen annan förklaring på hur något så gott kan tas bort från världen. Jag hoppas bara att vi möts igen. För jag saknar dig så det gör ont, min lilla Loppan. -Therese |
